Figure 5.
Differential interference contrast (DIC) and fluorescence microscopy images of intracellular accumulation of rhodamine-labeled paclitaxel administered in aqueous solution or in C8-lipid modified dextran nanoparticles after 4 hours of incubation with SKOV3 human ovarian adenocarcinoma cells. The cell nuclei were stained with Hoechst dye, while the doxorubicin accumulation was observed with intrinsic fluorescence. Original magnification was 60×.
